Never mind the removal of the headphone jack. Phone makers are now eliminating the microSD card slot. Prices are increasing while features are decreasing. 😑

Wenn das neue #GrapheneOS Phone (ob von #Motorola oder nicht) einen #HeadphoneJack hat, kaufe ich es.
So einfach ist das.
#Kopfhörerport.s sind der Inbegriff von #KISS und #LowTech.
#Bluetooth ist ein #Security-Alptraum und #USB möchte ich auch nicht erlauben müssen, um Musik zu hören.
Strahlung die mehr als 10m reicht eignet sich vom Prinzip her nicht für #Smartphone->Kopfhörer Kopplung
"Musik über verschlüsselte Funkstrahlung"?
Statements dreamed of by the utterly deranged.

@DarkAri @warmaster Agreed. @henry Linux phones are the only long-term freedom and privacy respecting solution. Check out the #Furiphone #FLX1s from @furilabs
I'm daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and most important things work OK despite the modest specs. I especially appreciate the removable user-replaceable battery and general modularity. However, the feature I use most (more than calls and messages even) is... the #HeadphoneJack!

My #Wishlist for the upcoming #GrapheneOSPhone (official partnership was announced)
- #headphoneJack, so USB and #Bluetooth can be disabled
- Fingerprint reader not behind the screen (privacy screen protectors, speed)
- nice Camera, comparable to a #Pixel 6a (so not crazy to modern standards, but a baseline)
- compact formfactor (~ Pixel 6a or smaller)
- no glass back, please use Plastic or Metal
- secure USB disabling method, #SecureElement, other base requirements -

This is the main reason I wanted a OnePlus 6 for #postmarketOS when I already have been using a OnePlus 6T for years now.
Surprisingly good audio output for driving my ATH-M50X headphones.
Bring back the jack!

Two years and seven months should not rate as a lengthy tenure for an electronic device. But for the Google Pixel 5a I bought in late 2021, that span of time is starting to feel more like a career. And in the context of people who feel compelled to buy a new phone every year, my phone might as well be on its second afterlife.
The device still functions fine–the 5a’s 5G radio has yet to be made obsolete by T-Mobile deploying new spectrum bands–and looks decent overall. In particular, I’ve managed to avoid any damage to the screen I replaced with an iFixIt repair kit in October of 2021 after shattering the original screen a few weeks earlier.
But the glass cover over the back camera assembly has developed a crack that apparently lets in enough moisture at times to lightly fog some photos.
On the phone’s inside, more than two years of discharge-recharge cycles seem to have left their dent in the battery. I’m now more likely to look for the nearest outlet by the afternoon of a day on the go to ensure that the phone retains a healthy charge margin when I get back to home or a hotel.
This phone’s 128 GB of storage also doesn’t have much left, with 112 GB now eaten up by photos, music and a collection of apps overdue for culling.
None of that seems too bad on its own, considering that I’ve kept this 5a in daily service for longer than its three predecessors: a Pixel 3a used for about two years and five months, a first-gen Pixel that served me for just over two years and a month, and a Nexus 5x that succumbed to a fatal bootloop after just a year and eight months.
But the factor most likely to push me to buy a new phone in the coming months is not the 5a’s hardware but its software. Google’s Android-support lifecycle document only pledges version updates for it through August, three years after the 5a’s debut, and Android 15 will almost certainly ship a month or two later.
A Pixel 8a, the most likely replacement, would bring a commitment of Android updates until May of 2031–far longer than I can imagine myself continuing to use a 2024-vintage phone–as well as a better camera, more storage, and cordless charging.
But the 8a and, apparently, every future Pixel phone from Google, will not include a headphone jack. Finally knuckling under to that collective design delusion on a device I use more than any other is going to sting.

Dear #EU,
why are you banning removable #plastic bottle caps, but dont force phone manifacturers to include a #headphonejack ?
The only reason why they would remove this simple port, is to push the sells of #plannedobsolescence #bluetooth #headphones with tiny batteries and proprietary chargers.
Bluetooth headphones are always more expensive than the equivalent with a cable, and they are unnecessary complexity.

One thing I like about the #Xperia is that #Sony is not brave enough to take away #microSD readers, #headphoneJack , a fingerprint reader outside the screen or top and bottom bezels for front facing speakers.
And this without taking away of those flagship goodies like godlike 21:9 screen or a camera straight from Sony's R&D
And even the short update support can be mitigated by Sony's excellent support for #AOSP

@graves501 I know! 🫣️ I was just totally hypnotized with the Gigaset back then. Reasonably priced, more or less #green and #fair, with #dualsim, #replaceable #battery and even a #headphonejack. It just ticked all my boxes back then. And I think I plain forgot to think about the operating system for a moment and now "I have the salad". 😜️ But, ไม่เป็นไร (it's ok). 🤓️ My next phone will have to be a #linuxphone though. I'll just hold out till then, I guess. 😝️

Should I look into getting a new phone? I've had my #iPhone6SPlus since May 2018 which is the longest I've had a phone but the problem is headphone jacks basically don't exist unless I want to buy an #Xperia or a #Zenfone but neither of them have #WiFiCalling on #ATT and the Xperias have way too weird of an aspect ratio for me. At least the #S24Ultra has a squared-off screen and 7 years of updates, but no #HeadphoneJack. Should I do two phones like I did when I got my #Lumia830?
